In addition to his work as commentator for NPR’s Morning Edition and HBO’s Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel, Deford has published 17 books, including his latest memoir, Over Time: My Life as a Sportswriter. Have questions about your favorite point guard or second baseman? An audience Q&A and book signing follow the lecture. The event is free to the public.
